Two questions I am a bit stuck on, any kind of help would be appreciated :) 1 - In a belt drive the angle of lap on the small pulley is 150°. With a belt speed of 20m/s and a max tension of 1400N, the greatest power that can be transmitted is 10kW. What power could be transmitted for the same...

That makes more sense to me now, thank you :)

I know how much the fluid power/pressure increases by 1.2m drop but how do I work it out if the turbine isn't there?

Thanks a lot!

A circular pipe has a fall of 4m and narrows so that, at exit, its area is one quarter that at inlet. The pressure at inlet is 20kN/m^2 above atmospheric and at exit, where the velocity is 15m/s, the pressure is atmospheric. Calculate the inlet velocity and mass flow rate of water through the...

So I presume that the flow rate that I have is correct?

I know I need the pressure values to put into the bernoullis equation but that is what I am stuck on finding/working out

A turbine is installed in a vertical pipe line, 150mm diameter. A gauge is connected to the pipe at a point A above the turbine and another at point B below the turbine, the vertical distance between A and B being 1.2m. When the discharge is 0.06m^3/s, the gauages read 400kN/m^3 and 35kN/m^3...
